Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Pursuant to your letter dated July 24, 2007, PRA International (the “Company”) is submitting its response to the comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in a letter dated today from our counsel, Joel H. Trotter of Latham & Watkins LLP. Pursuant to the Staff’s request, the Company acknowledges that:
| | (i) | | it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in its filings; |
| |
| | (ii) | | Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and |
| |
| | (iii) | | the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
| | | | | |
| | Respectfully submitted,
